x.v. Color
x.v.Color (also known as xvYCC or Extended-gamut YCC) is a color space that supports 1.8 times as many colors as the RGB color space. The result is that you see greens, reds and blues far deeper than previously possible
Deep Color (36-bit)
Deep Color ensures that all color transitions and gradients are reproduced with the highest level of precision. It enables increased contrast ratio, eliminates on-screen color banding (for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors) and can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. So what you see is as natural and lifelike as possible
PQLS with HDMI
The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer control technology using the KURO LINK function. The player's output signals are controlled by the AV receiver to achieve high quality sound playback from a CD using the quartz oscillator of the AV receiver. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality

DTS-HD Master Audio is an extension to the original DTS audio format. It delivers up to 7.1 channels of sound at 24-bit depth resolution.

It is supposed to be an alternative for DTS-HD Master Audio where disc space may not allow it
